Milaim Nela: The 1944 Conflict Was a Civil War, the People Continue to Be Deceived with Distorted History

Publicist Milaim Nela has again intervened in discussions about the National Liberation War, describing it as an internal clash among Albanians and not a true liberation movement.

Through a post published on social platforms, he sharply criticized scholars who continue to support the communist version of events, accusing them of legitimizing a dark chapter of the national past.

According to Nela, Albanian citizens still have not confronted the historical truth of that time, and the debate remains trapped in the ideological legacy of the communist period.

In his full reaction, he writes that the so-called National Liberation War cannot be treated as an open topic for interpretation, as historians with left-wing convictions attempt to present it.

Nela emphasizes that it was a purely civil, fratricidal, and criminal conflict, manipulated by Serbo-Slavic forces that founded and controlled the Albanian communist party, whose successor he considers today’s Socialist Party.

He expresses deep disappointment that even after more than a century of statehood, Albanians continue to be fed the lies of the so-called fossils of communism, instead of learning the true history of events that have left deep scars on the country.
